0:06.3	beautiful and productive garden. You'll also find great and essential gardening kit and stylish,
0:12.9	lovely things to have in your house to bring the outside indoors, all inspired by the garden
0:19.8	and the house being tied together. There's also plenty of

0:29.1	today to discover even more.
0:46.2	Welcome to Grow Cook Eat Arrange, the podcast of me, Sarah Raven, and various different riveting, lovely guests. And today I actually have two, which is a real treat. I have Adam
0:52.5	Nicholson, my husband, who many of you will have heard on the

1:42.1	but possibly our listeners from abroad who don't know about the NEP rewilding project.
1:48.0	Yes, I mean, I feel a bit goofy explaining it to Charlie who works there.
1:53.0	But anyway...
